And that was the long and short of it.
All these circumstances had shaped the Mo Chen that Wu Dao saw today.
"Impressive."
Wu Dao nodded slightly after hearing his story.
"To endure such adversity and still shine with such tenacious life... just for that, you've surpassed many people."
"Heh, you can live your life crying or you can live it laughing. I just chose to make things a little easier on myself."
Mo Chen smiled brightly. It seemed to be the first time he had ever spoken of his 'tragic' fate. After laying it all bare, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit seemed to shine much brighter.
'His parents died when he was four.'
'His grandmother passed away when he was ten.'
'At eighteen, the fortune of the Dragon Mud Cave Heaven was at its absolute peak.'
'It seems...'
'This is a merging of memories.'
'An imitation of the major turning points in the life of his predecessor?'
'To completely become a new Mo Chen.'
'After their fates have completely and indistinguishably merged.'
